🛒 Ingredients

✓ 200g shirataki noodles (or 150g chow mein noodles)
✓ 2 eggs
✓ 1.5 tbsp avocado oil
✓ 2 tbsp vegetable broth
✓ 100g firm tofu, cubed
✓ 50g cabbage, thinly sliced
✓ 40g carrots, julienned
✓ 2 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1 green onion, cut into 2-inch pieces
✓ Salt and white pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the noodles: If using shirataki, drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water for 1–2 minutes to remove excess liquid and odor. Pat dry with paper towels. If using regular noodles, cook al dente, drain, and set aside.

2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sambal oelek, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, coconut milk lite, and mushroom powder. Taste and adjust heat/saltiness. Set aside.

3. Fry the tofu: Heat 0.5 tbsp avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate; season lightly with salt.

4. Cook the eggs: In the same wok, add remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil. Crack eggs into the pan and fry sunny-side up or scrambled, 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.

5. Wok-toss the vegetables: Add garlic to the wok and stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant. Add cabbage and carrots, toss constantly for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp. Pour in vegetable broth to prevent sticking.

6. Combine noodles and sauce: Add noodles to the wok with vegetables. Pour sauce over noodles and toss continuously for 2–3 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until everything is evenly coated and heated through.

7. Plate and finish: Divide noodles between two bowls. Top with fried tofu, eggs, green onion, sliced fresh chili, and cilantro. Drizzle with any remaining sauce and serve immediately while hot.
